This will always be available to you in the 'websites' folder of your Cumulus MX Installation. | This will always be available to you in the 'websites' folder of your Cumulus MX Installation. However, it is not a published site until you decide to make it so. | ||
To publish the default website you will need a web host and a domain name that you can access. | |||
=== Publishing the Default Site === | |||
To publish the site you need to upload '''ALL''' of the contents of the website folder to a location on your website. Normally this would be to the public_html folder in your control panel for your web host. However, there is nothing to stop you using a sub-folder off the public_html one. If you do this you will need to '''make a note of the folder name''' you use. | |||
Once you have copied all the above files, you need to configure CumulusMX to upload your data at regular intervals. | |||
==== Configure CumulusMX to upload data ==== | |||
This is done on the '''Internet Settings''' Page. | |||
Under the Web/Upload Site' tab check the following: | |||
* Enable Upload Connections | |||
* Select a FTP protocol - Do this in consultation with your web host provider. | |||
* Enter a Host name: - this will usually be your domain name without the http/https prefix. | |||
* FTP and FTPS is usually port 21 but you should select the port in consultation with you web host provider. | |||
* Enter the directory you wish to upload to. This will usually be public_html/ as this is where your pages are. If you have copied your pages to another location then give the path to them. | |||
* Provide a username and password for an account that can FTP to the specified location.* | |||
You should not need to change either General or Advanced settings at this stage. | |||
Under the '''Interval Configuration''' tab check the option: 'I wish to use the supplied default web site'. | |||
This should make all the configuration changes needed but it is worth while to check: | |||
Under '''Normal Interval Settings''' make sure that everything is selected and that the interval to use is what you want. | |||
Under '''Real time Interval Settings''' make sure that it is enabled, that the interval in seconds is what you want and that ''''Upload'''' is enabled. | |||
Your site should now be functioning. However, you may wish to visit the '''Utilities''' page and initiate an FTP upload of everything. | |||
